    Well no one replied to my post so I went out and bought a bottom feeder to find out for myself how the board stacked up. Not as fast as the sweet but caught waves easier and felt smoother and easier to handle on rail , a lot of fun as is the sweet P , a different spice to keep things interesting.
    So can you guys at firewire make me one in that new white rapid fire tec Please ?

    Hah the bottom feeder isn't one of the ones that will make its way over to the Firewire technologies....fun looking shape though.

    That is a very hard call to make. To hard cant make it. For me the length and the volume of the bottom feeder may give the board the edge because I prefer a little more length with a little less volume. My SP is 5,6 volume 38 plus litres my Bottom Feeder is 35.7 at 5,8 in length.

    i already have a sweet potato, is a magic board.
    i just have problems when waves push and aren't mushy. so i'm gonna buy a bottom feeder cause i can use it when is a bit bigger for potato but small for my shortboards like rat boy m10.

    I think the BP is the call rather then the Lost BF, you should try it.

    Better then the SP, plus 5 fin option for greater flexibility.

    That is good call Jack, I use my SP when it is soft but once their is a touch more power and a pocket to carve into I use the bottom Feeder.
    But could not help myself got a 5,5 BP in white RF coming this week if this board can grovel with high speed and can be pushed harder on rail than the SP then well we will wait and see.

    Sweet sounds like one more sick board to add to the collection.
